I’ve been to different RIU in Caribbean and this by far is worse one I’ve ever been too. I’ve been to RIU Costa Rica and Jamaica Ocho rios and Negril. It was very disappointing the lack entertainment. When I stay at inclusive I expect it to have basics to not have to leave the hotel. They had four pools and only one pool had music and it was replay of 6 songs from pop music of 1980’s. I went to lobby and was told that it family hotel and that this is not the Caribbean. You’re suppose to be original place in the brand and that in itself is complete disappointment! All RIUS are family hotels so the statement that it family hotel as to why you provide lack of basic music 🎶 is sorry excuse. The buffets lacked variety and were similar menu. The restaurant was buffet style as well had little variation to main buffet. The hotel was very clean and grounds were absolutely stunning. The staff was rude they rarely came to even pour water unless we asked. They were not treating all the guests that way just seem to be us. Bring your things to entertain yourself because they are not providing much entertainment.

Very good value for money.

Family of 4. Superb value for money. 3 pools to keep kids entertained (4th adults only) with some good entertainment. Restaurant overlooking sea was superb. Speciality italian was exceptional standard. The friday night white party was one of best parties ive been to in a hotel. Would pay for that! 3 minor points. No ice cream during day for kids unlike other all inclusive brands. Glass allowed around pool. Sports pool was cutting so many peoples (4+ a day) feet after water polo but lifeguard didnt seem to do anything - may have been cut tile - hoepfully fixed now. End on a positive - kahoot quiz was great fun! We will no doubt return.
